HOBART | Salamanca Market is a street market on the waterfront in central Hobart that’s held every Saturday between 8.30am and 3.00pm. Running since 1972, the market has grown from a small summer market of 12 stalls to a year round market featuring 300 stalls. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hobart, attracting between 25,000-40,000 each Saturday.
The market showcases Tasmania’s culture, creative artisans, talented musicians and diverse producers, and across the stalls visitors have the chance to experience the colours, sounds and smells of Tasmania. There’s something for everybody here, regardless of what you are into. Being fans of good food and drink, we naturally gravitate towards the stall that showcase this. The fresh fruit and vegetable stalls are one of our favourite things to see at Salamanca Market, especially during the summer when a plentiful assortment of fresh berries are on offer.
The bagels from “Bury Me Standing” are fantastic – properly hand rolled and boiled with an assortment of flavours and fillings, and we always love sampling cheese from producers like Grandvewe Cheeses and Coal River Farm. Gin from McHenry Distillers and several other spirits from local distillers is also a great idea. For something unique and truly Tasmanian, make sure to try a scallop pie – a unique curry scallop flavour experience unlike anything we’ve tried before.
The market gets very busy when the weather’s good, so we recommend visiting early to avoid the crowds, which also allows more of an opportunity to chat with the stallholders.
